I want to work on tangos and need some tabs and a sound samples. I consider my self a low to mid intermidiate student.
Can some one help with some advice?

Ram, A few years ago I decided to learn the tango, but couldn't find any good traditional tab. You tube has some short tutorial on basic tangos, but I could never learn much from them. I finally just started listening to my favorite tangos repeatedly and got the idea of compas, then did what I could figure out on the falsetas. I suggest starting with just a basic rhythm using A, Bd, C, and Dm chords. Here is one that might help.

Here is a more basic one.

Ram,
I agree with Sam! There are relatively few traditional tango falsetas, and tangos are not very popular as a solo piece. Moraito has recorded traditional Tangos in Morao y Ora, and it is available as a transcription by Alain Faucher. Also, like in bulerias, the rhythmic approach to tangos changed in the seventies, becoming much more syncopated. Below is my version of a traditional alzapua/ligado falseta (very low-tech), with slow demonstration. Cejilla is on 3rd fret. The rasgueado to keep the beat is a 3-stroke rasgueado: i (up) a (down) i (down) with the accent on the last stroke (style Paco, Tomatito). The rasgueado at the end is paip (p played as upstroke). Hope this is useful.
Good luck - Roland

Nice tango Roland. Here is one by Tomas that might help.

Thank you very much.

I am not that good, I am just an older guy with no talent enjoying the journey of the Art of the flamenco guitar. My dad took me,my younger brother and sister to Bellas Artes when I was about 7 years old and enrolled us in a basic guitar class, I really wanted to learn, but after the first class the instructor told my father not to waste his money on me that I would be better off playing soccer. Well 40 plus years later I said what the heck I am going to learn and been going to a disciple of Miguel Antonio in the Dallas Texas area. My teacher Michael Stacy has his hands full with me. He has been very patient with me and I have been making very slow progress. I will post a video in the near future, because I am proud of what I have been able to achive.

Hola Ramiro
One of the things that I like about this foro is that people are not judgemental and we do not have to be good or bad or better or worse. We simply meet in this online peña flamenco and enjoy discussing and sharing flamenco together.
So in that sense I am sure we would all enjoy seeing you play.
As for bellas artes teacher I imagine that some time back teachers might sometimes have been less careful with how they express things than they tend to be nowadays.
In any case he got that wrong as you do play the guitar and you do enjoy it.

Hasta pronto

Tomás
